However, locally there are some distinctly positive notes. In Dover we congratulate Debbie and Keith at The Lanes on their success at being chosen Kent Pub of the Year 2018, while the town’ newly established Breakwater Brewery is busy expanding both its brewing capacity and range of activities. At Ash the local community continues the progress of bringing the Chequer back to life as a village pub, and in Shep- herdswell we welcome the establishment of a new micropub, the Tipsy Gardner and were pleased to see the closed Bricklayers being advertised “To Let”, suggesting it may remain as a pub rather than suffer the usual fate of conversion to residential. Meanwhile in Deal, the general availability and variety of real ale continues to increase, and is well illustrat- ed by Dayle and Donna’s transformation of the fortunes of the Farrier in Manor Road. It shows what it is possible to achieve, and perhaps reflects that at least in East Kent the prospects for beer and the pub trade are rather better than some would have us believe. And with so many pubs selling good real ale, competition to get into the good beer guide is understandably tight. There are only so many places allocated to each branch and we select those that receive the best, and sufficient , beer scores. If you think your pub deserves to get in, and it does not, it could be because there are insufficient beer scores. It could be down to you. In this issue as well as all the usual items we take a look at an English Trappist Brewer and two classic ales, report on the Deal Hop Project harvest, and relate some further summer walks.

THE LANES - KENT PUB OF THE YEAR 2018 Since opening in December 2014 The Lanes in Worthington Street, Dover has won a succession of CAMRA awards – a couple as pub of the season, then Branch Pub of the Year and East Kent Pub of the Year in 2017 and again Branch Pub of the Year and East Kent Pub of the Year in 2018. Finally the pub then went on to become Regional Winner as Kent Pub of the Year 2018. Presenting the award in front of a crowded pub (see picture), Kent Regional Director Kae Mendham congrat- ulated Debbie and Keith Lane on their success, achieved in less than four years of operation. The win recognises The Lanes as one of the county’s leading real ale pubs and establishes it as one of CAMRA’s top sixteen pubs in Britain. Among other attributes, beer quality has been crucial. With the occasional exception, all beer is sourced from Kent, plus a small amount from Sussex, and the award stands as testimony to both care and attention in the pub and the quality of local brewing. Several brewers turned up to see the presentation, and Debbie specifically acknowledged the debt she and Keith owed them and the rest of their suppliers, “We couldn’t have done it without the brewers”, she said. To celebrate, a choice of eight ales were available, covering a wide range of styles and flavours from Gadds Black Pearl oyster stout to Angels & Demons Racing Tiger cask lager. Also represented were Northdown of Margate, Iron Bar from Northfleet, Tonbridge, Hop Fuzz of Hythe, Musket from Linton and Long Man from East Sussex. Although The Lanes progressed no further this year in the National Competition, we look forward opti- mistically to a renewed challenge in 2019.

  • Teletubbies and Postmodern Childhood Jonathan
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Central Archive at the University of Reading Familiar Aliens: Teletubbies and Postmodern Childhood Jonathan Bignell This article argues that the British pre-school children’s television programme Teletubbies develops some of the theoretical concerns of postmodernist criticism. The aim of the article is to consider how this theoretical discourse and Teletubbies work together to rethink the notion of the child, as a conceptual category and an audience category imagined for British television. I shall argue that the aesthetic of Teletubbies corresponds to the reflexive textuality identified by postmodernist theory, and instantiates some of the confusions between self and other, adult and child, that this theoretical discourse has debated.1 Some of the existing work on Teletubbies discusses it in terms of its effects on the child audience and its relationship to educational and social goals, using arguments that adduce what is claimed to be knowledge about actual children. 2 In contrast, this article discusses arguments that derive from abstract conceptions of childhood as a condition or life-stage. However, I demonstrate here that these two approaches keep merging into each other, and that this issue is part of the greater problem of boundaries, propriety and ambivalence that postmodernist thinking has addressed and of which it is a symptom. The French theorist Jean-François Lyotard is interested in childhood as a discursive category, rather than in actual children as concrete individual subjects. He discusses childhood in relation to notions of process, such as the process of constitution of the subject, and the relation between a subject and an object, event, or experience.

  • Independent Television Producers in England
    Negotiating Dependence: Independent Television Producers in England Karl Rawstrone A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol November 2020 77,900 words. Abstract The thesis analyses the independent television production sector focusing on the role of the producer. At its centre are four in-depth case studies which investigate the practices and contexts of the independent television producer in four different production cultures. The sample consists of a small self-owned company, a medium- sized family-owned company, a broadcaster-owned company and an independent- corporate partnership. The thesis contextualises these case studies through a history of four critical conjunctures in which the concept of ‘independence’ was debated and shifted in meaning, allowing the term to be operationalised to different ends. It gives particular attention to the birth of Channel 4 in 1982 and the subsequent rapid growth of an independent ‘sector’. Throughout, the thesis explores the tensions between the political, economic and social aims of independent television production and how these impact on the role of the producer. The thesis employs an empirical methodology to investigate the independent television producer’s role. It uses qualitative data, principally original interviews with both employers and employees in the four companies, to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of the complexities of the producer’s role. Rather than independence, the thesis uses network analysis to argue that a television producer’s role is characterised by sets of negotiated dependencies, through which professional agency is exercised and professional identity constructed and performed.

At the exhibition, objects from children’s television history sat alongside screens showing the programmes to visitors. Our research explores how children’s television culture operates as a site of memory and nostalgia, through which we can investigate forms of (inter)generational cultural memory. This paper explores the reconnections and disconnections that emerge in encounters with the material heritage of children’s television in Britain.

  • Sue Howard and Susan Roberts: Teletubbies Downunder: the Australian Experience
    International Central Institute for Youth and Educational Television (IZI) Special English Issue No. 12/1999/2: "The Teletubbies" Sue Howard and Susan Roberts "Teletubbies" downunder: The Australian experience Introduction Broadcast at 7.30 a.m. on Australian television and scheduled alongside other programmes intended for preschoolers, it’s highly likely that only a small percentage of Australia’s population has actually watched an episode of "Teletubbies" and most of those viewers would be under the age of 5.It is clear, however, that the evocative name ‘Teletubby’ has entered the Australian lexicon and has currency and cultural meaning for Australians in general. For example, Shane Warne, an Australian cricketing hero with a weight problem was referred to as a ‘sporting Teletubby’ by a writer for the national daily newspaper (Australian 19/12/97). Again in The Australian, in an article presenting research into childhood obesity, a subheader proclaimed ‘Overindulgent, overprotective parents are turning their children into "Teletubbies"...’ (Australian 1/9/99) - an accompanying photograph depicts an overweight primary school child, eating potato chips and drinking soft drink, slumped on a sofa infront of a TV set. As these examples show, the meanings that the "Teletubby" epithet (with or without a capital T) have generated are somewhat contradictory - they are part pejorative, and part lovable. To put it crudely: champion leg-spin bowlers and young children = good; fat and television = bad. What we would argue is that these contradictory meanings (particularly for people who have never watched the programme) are largely attributable to the critical media attention that the series attracted even before it went to air in Australia early in 1998.
